    Steve Deace: America Is Great Because God Is Good

    Steve Deace joins the Must Read Alaska podcast for a powerful conversation on faith, freedom, and the next generation—just days before his first-ever trip to Alaska. The host of The Steve Deace Show on Blaze Media and author of fourteen books sits down with Todd Lindley to discuss his brand-new children’s book, Why Independence Day?: America Is Great Because God Is Good. The final installment in a beautifully illustrated trilogy on America’s Christian heritage, the book arrives as the nation celebrates its 250th birthday. Deace shares the inspiration behind the series, born from a desire to do for a biblical worldview what Rush Limbaugh once did for conservatism—making it compelling, mainstream, and impossible to ignore. He explains why storytelling remains the last refuge of persuasion in a culture that has grown hostile to direct appeals, and why excellence matters. The conversation also turns to the deeper mission behind his July 26 appearance at Mountain City Church for the TPUSA Faith event “Make Heaven Crowded Again.” Deace speaks with raw passion about the late Charlie Kirk, describing him as a warrior whose effectiveness left the enemy with no option but martyrdom. He frames Charlie’s death as a call for the rest of us to finish the mission: reaching young men by first calling older men to finish their own races well—faithful to the wife of their youth, present for their families, and still leading in church and community. Whether you’re a parent looking for tools to form the next generation, a believer seeking clarity in chaotic times, or simply someone who wants to understand the spiritual roots of American independence, this episode delivers both conviction and hope.   STEVE DEACE Follow Steve on X at @SteveDeaceShow Why Independence Day?: America Is Great Because God Is Good - https://a.co/d/04nYpw7p   SPONSORS Must Read Alaska: https://mustreadalaska.com/subscriptions/ Promo Code: MRAK76 for 76% off annual and monthly subscriptions Big Berkey Water Filters: https://www.bigberkeywaterfilters.com/ Promo Code: mrak10 for 10% off sitewide

    Spiritual Warfare & Preparing for Combat with Kyle Clement

    In a culture chasing novelty and quick spiritual fixes, many men are left restless, confused, and spiritually vulnerable. Temptation has become the front line of battle — and most don’t even realize they’re already in it. On this episode of the Must Read Alaska Podcast, we sit down with Kyle Clement, co-founder of Liber Christo and a leading trainer in Catholic deliverance ministry. For over 20 years, Kyle has worked alongside Fr. Chad Ripperger to develop the Liber Christo four-phase protocol — a clear, objective, and authentically Catholic system for addressing suspected diabolical affliction with discipline, diagnostics, and the sacraments at the center. Kyle breaks down the practical framework of Prevent, Diagnose, Cleanse, and Fortify and shows men how to: Spot the “open doors” — victimhood, resentment toward God, curiosity without obedience, and rationalized sin Close those doors through confession, renunciation, daily discipline, and obedience to Church authority Build lasting resilience with virtue training that balances prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance on the foundation of faith, hope, and charity Lead as Catholic men today — with purity as power, clarity under pressure, and the courage to reject “cowardice masquerading as prudence” Kyle also shares what it truly means to be a Catholic man in today’s Church and culture, and why returning to Christ as Truth — through prayer, fasting, sacraments, and authority — is the only path to real freedom and strength. Special note: Kyle Clement will be in Alaska in early August 2026 with a flexible schedule to speak statewide on “Preparing Your Soul for Spiritual Combat” and “What It Means to Be a Catholic Man Today.” Watch for event details and bring a friend. Whether you’re Catholic, Protestant, or simply a man ready to fight for your soul and family, this episode delivers concrete steps you can start using today. Take the 30-day challenge: Daily Rosary Weekly fasting Weekly confession (as needed) Nightly examination of conscience Focused virtue training (rotate the cardinal virtues) Resources mentioned: MonteCristo.net (training & Reclamation Theology podcast) LiberChristo.org PurifyChurch.com LastCrusade.us The battlefield is temptation. The victory is virtue. You don’t need novelty — you need clarity, discipline, and Christ. Listen now. Then take action.

    Alaska LNG Special Session: HB 381 Volumetric Tax Debate & Hidden Credit Billions – Marcus Moore Analysis

    In this episode of Must Read Alaska's Energy and Business Edition, host Todd sits down with Marcus Moore of Alaskan Rants for an in-depth look at the special session on the Alaska LNG project. Central to the discussion is House Bill 381, which shifts taxation of pipeline infrastructure from traditional property taxes to an alternative volumetric tax based on gas throughput. Marcus provides sharp analysis on the bill's implications, including potential tax relief worth hundreds of millions for project backers, new flexibility for municipalities, and provisions like community impact funds and the Fairbanks spur line. He questions whether the project will deliver affordable gas and jobs for Alaskans, highlighting the role of data centers in achieving lower prices and the massive potential revenue from carbon and hydrogen tax credits. The conversation explores governance changes at AGDC, liability issues, and the disconnect between public promises and committee realities. A must-listen for informed Alaskans.   X: @AlaskanRants Linktree: https://linktr.ee/alaskanrants?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=3be81fcf-fc4e-4c07-bf79-207e49534aeb Substack: https://alaskanrants.substack.com/   SPONSORS: Must Read Alaska: https://mustreadalaska.com/subscriptions/ Promo Code: energy for 10% off all our annual plans DRB Productions: https://centertix.com/events/beatles-vs-rolling-stones-musical-showdown Promo Code: London for MRAK subscribers

    Powering Alaska from Within: HEX and the Cook Inlet Comeback

    On this episode of Energy and Business from Must Read Alaska, host Todd sits down with John Hendrix — President and CEO of HEX LLC, Homer native, civil engineer, and recently named Outstanding Alaskan of the Year — for a clear-eyed conversation about Alaska’s energy future. In “Powering Alaska from Within: HEX and the Cook Inlet Comeback,” John explains how HEX LLC, the only 100% Alaskan-owned and operated natural gas producer in the state, is delivering reliable, affordable energy to Railbelt homes, businesses, and military bases right now. Headquartered in Anchorage, HEX operates critical offshore and onshore infrastructure in the Kitchen Lights Unit and recently unified its operations under one strong HEX brand while committing to new drilling and continued investment. Listeners will hear the story behind HEX’s acquisition of the once-struggling Kitchen Lights Unit, how local ownership and disciplined investment turned declining production around — including doubling output from the Allegra Leigh platform in 2025 — and why Cook Inlet’s estimated 19 trillion cubic feet of natural gas represents a generational opportunity for Alaska energy security. John connects the dots between local resource development, keeping the lights on and heat flowing during critical winter months, and building a stronger, more self-reliant Alaska. He also shares an encouraging message for young Alaskans considering careers in energy and for policymakers who want to see more homegrown investment succeed. If you care about affordable energy, Alaska’s resource sovereignty, and practical solutions that keep money and jobs in-state, this episode delivers straight talk from the operator proving that Alaskan solutions work best for Alaskans.   HEX LLC: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hex-ak/posts/?feedView=all   SPONSORS: Must Read Alaska: https://mustreadalaska.com/subscriptions/ Promo Code: energy for 10% off all our annual plans DRB Productions: https://centertix.com/events/beatles-vs-rolling-stones-musical-showdown Promo Code: London for MRAK subscribers
